bits-and-pieces

I went through a little period where I was obsessed with making Almond Flour biscuits. They are really good and buttery tasting. They aren't flaky, flour-like biscuits, but they are special in their own way. I made them so many times in one week I kind of burned out on them. I am taking a little break and will probably make them again next week... and try to restrain myself from making them over and over and over. The honey in this photo is Zor-Honey from the Altadena Urban Farmer's Market - if you're in the area, I highly, HIGHLY recommend this market!

Lucky is notorious for being afraid of cameras. If something even resembling a camera is pointed in her direction she cowers off and hides somewhere. The other night I put this shirt on her (old baby shirt), and she totally changed, she sat there and posed for me. That's never happened before! Justin's theory is that she doesn't like her picture to be taken while naked. I think she wears this shirt rather well, good job my little model!

Jackson is loving his jumper. He had been using it for a few days before he discovered he could bounce; then one day he jumped, and looked around really shocked, jumped again and shrieked! And he hasn't stopped jumping since... It's nice to have him off the ground for a while with these crazy dogs running around everywhere!

I bought this wooden puzzle thing for Jackson in Bangladesh, before we were even pregnant. I thought it was pretty cute and wanted to get it for my future kid. It's weird to think.. "that future kid" is Jackson! I love this thing because it's so odd. The characters are funny looking. I don't even know what the pink thing is between the farmer man and the horse on the bottom left. I thought it might be a baby, but it looks like it has a mustache and is carrying a purse...
